  • No reason not to. Old reputations die hard, but it’s been many many years since I’ve had an issue.

    I like also that btrfs is a lot more flexible than ZFS which is pretty strict about the size and number of disks, whereas you can upgrade a btrfs array ad hoc.

    I’ll add to avoid RAID5/6 as that is still not considered safe, but you mentioned RAID1 which has no issues.






  • The issues are mainly under high CPU load. A RT kernel will continue to maintain low latency without xruns but a normal kernel may not. The compromise option is full preemption which generally does a good job but doesn’t have the issues with throughput that can occur with a RT kernel.

    Although maybe you meant full when you indicated a preemptive kernel (voluntary preemption is still the default I believe but it’s kernel dependent).












  • Gadget bridge doesn’t really work for any “new” (i might be wrong here) devices.

    Most newer Garmin devices should work since 0.82 (and earlier with nightly). It’s not feature complete compared to using Gadget Connect but should be enough for most use cases, unless you really care about the social/awards aspect and some of the deeper metrics (although if you’re handy with SQL you can handle that yourself).

    Not being able to set an event date and have “daily suggested workouts” follow that is my only annoyance, although I’ve been happy just using the defaults for now.
